The YJs are easily identifiable due to the rectangular headlights, disliked by some Jeep aficionados, and the fact that the wiper blades rest on the windshield giving this version a distinctive look. The blades rested on the windshield due to the now wider arc of the blades to clean the larger windshield.

If you have a Jeep YJ from 1992-1995 you can turn it into the Jurassic Park Jeep!

There were minor changes over the course of the Jeep YJ that make later years better than others. For general reference the best years for making a Jurassic Park Jeep are 1992-1994 Jeep Wrangler Saharas. The best years for purchasing a Jeep for Jurassic Park are 1992-1995 Jeeps.

There were no 1996 model year Jeep Wranglers. YJs produced in early 1996 were sold as 1995 model years, but featured a few new parts not seen on any earlier YJ.
